Chapter 237

THEON

Instead of going back to the mansion, Miro and Theon instead went straight to the military base where Dominic, El, Zed and Diana were waiting.

On the way, we had received footage on how Ryn followed Adam into the woods and how they later latched onto a truck and left.

Ryn had seemed willing to leave with Adam which meant she had no idea who he was and the only reason she’d leave without telling us means she wants him to take her to his family.

Dammit! She’s being reckless and it could cost her her life and a world without Ryn is a world I don’t want to be in.

As soon as we entered Dominic’s office, Miro lunged for him, gripping him by the collar. Zed snarled, stepping forward but Dominic raised a hand, stopping him.

“I thought this kingdom was the safest place for her! How come your tests couldn’t detect that Adam’s a snake?!”

Dominic stayed calm, his hazel eyes dull. “Take your hands off me.” He quietly commanded.

“Or what?!”

By now, I would have stepped in, to cajole my brother and settle matters but I was just as equally pissed. Dominic deserved more than just a ruffle but then again, no one saw this coming.

Diana stepped forward, softly taking hold of Miro’s arms. Compared to his wrists, hers were bony and fragile–looking, yet when she laid hands on his wrists and tugged in the softest manner, Miro’s hands budged from Dominic’s collar.

He took a step back while glaring at the Alpha and down our twin bond, I felt his anger like volcanic eruptions, singing even

me.

“It’s my fault.” El spoke up and we turned our attention to her. She looked straight ahead, standing at ease like a trained soldier. “I…I wasn’t kind with her and after I dropped her off, I didn’t make sure she went into the house. I just left her there.”

“You did what?” Dominic asked, his voice showing surprise. “You were under specific orders.”

“I know, Alpha. I-”

“I don’t want to hear your excuses!” He snapped. “You’re off duty as Lieutenant until further notice.”

Her eyes widened as she looked at him, then her lips parted as if to say something but she closed them, and nodded in resignation.

“If anyone should be punished, it should be you.” Miro began. “You vetted Adam. You said he was free to go! If he were still in custody, he wouldn’t have escaped with Ryn.”

Diana stepped forward, her gaze softening. “You couldn’t have been there for her at that moment. You both were going through a traumatic procedure and there was no way you could have felt what Ryn was going through.
